A Perfect Placement
A few months ago, I found myself in Melrose for the first time – a beautiful little town in the Scottish Borders.
Monic and I took a lovely drive down.
And what a delightful place it is!
I was there on a mission: to find an internship placement for Aubrie, a Brigham Young University (BYU) student I’d met in Provo, Utah back in December 2024.
Her request was a tall one – somewhere with strong Roman historical links.
After some digging around the whole of Scotland, I struck gold: the Trimontium Museum right in the heart of Melrose.
Rome in Melrose! 

One of the great joys of my work is finding and organising placements for outstanding BYU students.
They bring energy, curiosity, and a real passion for learning wherever they go – and it’s a privilege to support them.
I’m always on the lookout for more student placement opportunities across Scotland and Ireland.
If you know an organisation (small or large) that could welcome a bright, motivated intern, I’d love to hear from you.
